Windows 7: how to get a Win 7 Pro ISO with only hp product number

Hello!
I have an HP elitebook 8460p for which I have a product number for Win 7 Pro, but I would like to be able to download the OS in ISO form to perform a clean installation. For that I need 25 numbers from the OS DVD and the product number does not fill the requirement.
How do I do considering that the machine is out of warranty and I have a OEM recovery DVD though it seems to give me problems.

Going back to your first post got the OS DVD, but the code does not work.
Lappy's dont tend to have os discs for re-installation, so those discs will not be for it
They do however have a recovery partition, have you tried the factory reset option.

By the way doesn't matter if its not the OEM version, the standard W7 pro iso will also work

To all individuals that gave me the head's UP on ISO, I am most grateful for your help, I did though, re-installed the OS with the recovery HP disc after backing up all the "goodies " that I was interest on. I did not download any software or firmware from HP or Anti-Virus until all updates from MS were installed including MS essentials. Even the optional updates were installed afterthe important ones. At what I thought was the end, had no failed installs.
It all went good, as I had not had such a pleasure before. I was very happy (I believe you guys somehow have experienced this feeling before). As soon as third parties' soft and firmware went in, WU went back to "piss" me off again. Nevertheless, it became easier to install updates direct from MS site because there were no errors to deal with anymore.
Hope with this story I have helped other people also to resolve any errors that WIN 7 throws at them. Have no mercy
Mate...thanking you once again.
